FIRST FRAGMENT - Voracité (Fretless Bass Playthrough) by Dominic ''Forest'' Lapointe

0:15 "Oh, cool" 0:30 "Yeah, I could learn this" 0:45 "I should be able to learn this without too many tears" 0:58 "Yeah, fuck you too Dominic"

Perfect fretless intonation is rarely achieved, even by some of the best jazz cats, but this guy nails it. He must be some kind of alien.

[@nmac3718]

Chances are while most "musicians "????lol were too busy trying to impress chicks in high school =by being in a band- dominic was paying attention and after school spent serious quality time with his bass because unlike most of us education actually mattered and here he is schooling all of us on his fretless

Lapointe goes into a music store looking for a new bass Lapointe: "id like to see your selection of lefty, 6 string, fretless basses" Sales rep: "umm.... I think we.... Yeah we dont have any of those"

[@Toxicity1987]

The common way for a bass player to get a fretless bass is to buy a fretted one, and rip out the frets.

[@jamcam9]

@@Toxicity1987 as a fretless player it makes me so sad when I see those. Most of the tine it's an absolute butchery - uneven fingerboards, improper height for the nut, side dots in the wrong place. Sad, sad beans. Just buy a fretless neck that's made to spec and sell the old neck.

Forest delivering his best as usual. Amazing tone, I'm really surprised how he manages to get such a variety of tones from his bass.(comparing to other bands he's played in)

[@Nargaroth]

Favorite bassist in the game today.

[@thefallofranny]

nutpro definitely one of the best metal bassists around

[@erradate6425]

Francisco Mendoza id be actually curious to find someone better than him in the metal scene.. he played in beyond creation, first fragment, augury and like 10 other bands, he is the most important tech death bassist ever and idk who tops him aha

Anybody considering the possibility should definitely hit forest up for lessons. I only took three, the homework destroyed my confidence as a bassist but after a solid year of practicing his "basic " exercises the improvement is astonishing.

[@Anurag6192]

Hi Dexter, that's cool man that you got lessons from Forest. It would be very helpful if you can share his basic exercises and homework to me.

[@sagemckearney1193]

This guy has to be one of the craziest bassists out there. I mean this guy is shredding a fretless 6 string bass. I can barely manage 4 strings with frets and huge inlays. Awesome song also. Melodically appealing and brutal, my favorite things.

[@metalmaiden310]

Holy mother of Christ... he just keeps getting better and better every video. How is that even possible! He's a monster!

[@chuckrg550]

This is about the 10th video I’ve watched of these guys and I have to comment now. A friend said to check First Fragment out and although I’m a guitar player, I have to say that Forest is a total bass monster. I thought I had seen all the monster bass players and then I see all the stuff Forest is doing and I’m on the damn floor. I just have to call some of the stuff he’s doing as bass shredding. Never seen anything like it. What an incredibly tight and amazing band. Glad I’ve discovered them and wondering how the hell I missed them.

It was written by Gabriel Brault-Pilon, who also wrote this song (not the bass part) and the dude is not in the band anymore although I think they mentioned he still writes stuff (?). I don't think Phil's gonna cover it, it would make more sense for him to do playthrough of his songs... And anyway a bass cover would be probably better cause of the intro and the bass solo
